Columbia was all over the place, with jazz, showtunes, gospel and soul (near the end). But then all Aretha is good Aretha

Would've been cool if Jimmy Walker did record, even a comedy record called Dynomite.

"Boys" is one of my favorite Shirelles songs. Surprised it was released in 1960, when the decade just begun and rockabilly was still popular.

Mohair /ˈmoʊhɛər/ is usually a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat (not to be confused with the Angora rabbit which produces Angora wool).

According to Wikipedia anyway.

This was such a great set, and may be one of my favorite shows ever of yours! So great. I've listened to it 2.5 times. My only problem with it is I can't resist getting up and jumping around when it's playing and sometimes I knock over things and people!
